Second thoughts about double effect.
… to the ethical doctrine known as the Doctrine of Double Effect (DDE) and its applications to issues in war and medicine. DDE maintains that it is harder to justify causing harm intentionally than it is to justify causing it foreseeably. Some of the strongest support for DDE comes from cases where …

The Application of On-line Estimation to a Double Effect Evaporator
… and overall heat transfer coefficients of a double effect evaporator. Two dynamic models are derived - a comprehensive eighteen order system and a fourth order reduced model. Two major software packages are developed - ASP, for interactive digital simulation and BASELINE for interactive data …

Application of Digital Filtering Methods to State and Parameter Estimation in Process Plant
… with particular reference to a pilot plant scale double effect evaporator, has been investigated. The investigation has shown the requirement of some adaptive modification to the recursive Kalman Filter to be necessary. This adaptive modification prevents the occurrence of bias and divergence of …

Crowdsourcing moral psychology
… problem - one for remote action/omission with no double effect consideration, one for double effect consideration with direct action/omission, and one for double effect consideration with remote action/omission. Analyzing data from this experiment, I conclude that differences in preferences across …

SIMULATION OF ABSORPTION CYCLES FOR INTEGRATION INTO REFINING PROCESSES
… details the modeling procedure for single and double effect water/lithium bromide and single effect ammonia/water chillers. Comparison of these models to published modeling results and experimental data shows acceptable agreement, within 5% for the water/lithium bromide models and within 7% for …

How are price fixing agreements unfair?
… by the dual entitlement principle and the double effect theory. Moreover, results suggest that people’s intuitions about price fixing are not static and move whenever the social and moral context changes.

Eu-Russia relations : implications of 1st May 2004 enlargement
… relationship. The enlargement process has a double effect on Russia. First of all, the notion of 'Europe' as represented by the EU will be shifted much closer to Russia. Simultaneously, probabilities of Russian membership into Europe's most exclusive club will diminish. Hence when considering …

Opening up the rich man’s club : ways to solve the clash between IMOs need for a more efficient decision-making process and the necessary participation of developing countries in the process?
… will be shown that only a few of them have the double effect of improving the effectiveness of IMO´s decision-making process and strengthening the participation of developing countries. Out of the seven proposals for strengthening the efficiency of the IMOs decision-making process that are to be …

End-of-life care: identifying an appropriate legal framework for specialist palliative care in Ireland
… supported by justifications such as a double effect or the acts and omissions distinction, there is no clear decision-making framework in Ireland for specialist palliative care, and the current legal framework lacks clarity and does not promote consistency between providers of …
